The absolute easiest way is to specifically look for dive centers that prominently display PADI Eco Center or Green Star Award certifications. These internationally recognized awards prove the business follows incredibly strict environmental protocols.

During the briefing a truly ethical instructor will aggressively emphasize perfectly maintaining neutral buoyancy and strictly forbid any diver from touching breaking or standing on the fragile coral reefs.

If the dive masters themselves are seen throwing plastic trash off the boat or handling marine life like turtles for tourist photos you should absolutely report them to PADI and write a highly negative review warning others.
